The prices of 3D printers are currently in a bit of a free fall, you can get a decent assembled 3D printer for below thousand dollars. However, most of the sub $1000 printers are hobbyist printers or in other words ‘Do It Yourself’ printers. Ask any 3D printing expert and he would probably say that the RepRap DIY Kits are still the best option for someone who really wants to know how a 3D printer works. And of all the kits available in the market today, the Prusa i3, is a perfect starting point for anyone looking to get into 3D printing. The Prusa i3 3d printer kit is simple to assemble. The machine comes with a very resourceful and easy to understand assembly manual.
The original Prusa i3 Kit is a real basic 3D printer, however, some companies have taken advantage of its robust design and added some cool features. Migbot is one such company that has announced an Ultra Prusa i3 DIY Kit with some amazing features. A remarkable fact is that these optional features are still difficult to find at an affordable price in the 3d printers made by the big players in the industry.
